In lighting systems for cinematographs, surfaces being so co-ordinated that the aberwhere intensity of illumination is required, rations ofthe component -3. are compensated it is now customary' to employ what are for by the parabolic surface so that the known ashigli 4intensity arc lainps'in which image of the ball and itssurrounding b the crater inthe carbon that -is imaged on rim are perfect ycentered and focused i1 n 00 A the aperture plate is relatively small but the a collective lens 5. The proper ima ng lieat generated is enormous and this preupon the lens5 is 'important because in ese cludes the are being located in close proxhigh intensity lamps the gas ball at the iinity to the condensing system by reason of ter of thecrater in the positive carbon is lu possible dainageto the latter, At the samebluish white and the rim of the crater redo5 time it is desirable that the heat rays p i-od ish and u nless they occupy 'the proper jected 'on -tlie aperture plate of the motion sitio'n the image projected by lens 5 on the picture projection apparatus be reduced in aperture plate 6 will. not be of even illuiniarea to as nearly as possible the size of the nation or color.
